"""Among all of Orwell’s great unflinching reportage, this book stands out as a personal odyssey and first-person witness to history. He went to Spain in 1936, during the civil war there, to help fight Fascism. He joined a leftist militia and found himself targeted not only by Franco’s forces but by Stalinists intent on crushing anyone not toeing the Moscow line. Orwell’s descriptions of wartime Barcelona and impoverished rural Spain, his clear-eyed analysis of the shifting factions in the war, are triumphs of tender, hard-headed participant-observation. He was wounded at the front, shot through the throat by a sniper. His peerless moral grasp of the dangers of totalitarianism began in Spain."

"That movie for me was my Marlon Brando experience before The Godfather, before Streetcar. It’s weird to be living in a modern world where acting has changed. Movies have changed so much, and yet you can still see what defined [Brando] and his performance. If I told you that so-and-so was the first person to do something 30 years ago, you’d be like, “Well, I don’t care, because people do it now all the time.” There’s still nobody doing what he does in that movie. And so that really changed everything for me. Also, there was something really exciting and sad about the whole political aspect of that movie. The whole blacklisting thing."

I still really like this series.

I think it's all about the connection between the two main characters, Elena and Raphael, and the love they share. I like how though she's his biggest weakness, being a newly made angel, she's also the one thing that keeps him grounded and makes him a better person/angel/whatever.

With everything that happens in these books it easy to forget some things but the things I do remember include their first flying together--that was equally exciting and heart-stopping to read about--Sam, he's still a cute little thing, and the prospect of angel babies in the future...aww!

I'm looking forward to reading more in the series!
